I tested with LightDM, ubuntu-drivers-common 1:0.5.2.2, and nvidia-prime 0.8.8.2, doing various combinations of `prime-select intel` and `prime- select nvidia`; everything seems to work as described in the original description.

Hello Alberto, or anyone else affected, Accepted ubuntu-drivers-common into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source /ubuntu-drivers-common/1:0.5.2.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository. Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. ** Changed in: ubuntu-drivers-common (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-bionic ** Changed in: nvidia-prime (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-prime in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1797147 Title: Backport PRIME switching fixes to Ubuntu 18.04 Status in nvidia-prime package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-prime source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in ubuntu-drivers-common source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Bug description: SRU Request: [Impact] A recent update (LP: #1778011) in 18.04 has restored the PRIME switching mechanism in Gdm 3 only, while still leaving out support for other login managers (such as Lightdm, and SDDM).
